Hello all,

I came into work this morning to find that there was really bad ghosting on my 
display.  Dark colours in the display cause grey lines extending in both 
directions horizontally to the edge of the screen.  The monitor is fine (tested 
the PC on another monitor and got the same effect) and I seem to remember we had 
another PC* with the same problem a few months ago, this was fixed by replacing 
the graphics card.  I am pretty sure it is the card that is knackered, but are 
there any tests that can be done to test the graphics cards, possibly similar to 
the memtest86 program that was discussed earlier on the week for testing the 
system ram?

Thanks
Will.

*Had the same GFX card, Nvidia TNT2 with 32Mb ram.
